} How did you set the template up in the first place?  If you went into the
} List Management interface, clicked the Templates button, then entered a
} new name in the box and clicked the Create button, LISTSERV will happily
} accept whatever name you enter.

I originally did it by email (I prefer the email interface to the wed
interface).  I took my existing mailtpl and added the new one at the
end.
i.e:

PUT listname.mailtpl
   original mailtpl
>>> Content-Filter
   filter data


} If you misspell an existing template's name (or a commonly used one that
} isn't present yet), LISTSERV won't complain because it's assuming you
} *want* to create a template with that name.

OK, but the creation was somewhat less than useful in this case.

} Yes, it is.  You were able to fix the problem by renaming the template but
} you didn't even have to do this in the first place.

No, I fixed it by correcting the typo in the saved mailtpl file and
PUTting it again.  The PUT completely replaces the existing mailtpl
file.
